Come Back to Class

Dean Joseph Doucet welcomes you back to the classroom and invites you to join Professor Joel Gehman's MBA class on Sustainability and learn more about
B Corps for Better Business.

A community of leaders, driving a global movement of people using business as a force for good." This is how B Lab defines the B Corp movement, which gathers entrepreneurs and corporate leaders driving their organizations to positively impact every person influenced by their operations and take into account the interests of all stakeholders—not just shareholders.

Join us virtually for an insightful evening to learn more about what being a B Corp means and how they are disrupting the status quo of for-profit capitalism. Special guest Christopher Marquis, the Samuel C. Johnson Professor in Sustainable Global Enterprise at Cornell University, will discuss his latest book, “Better Business: How the B Corp Movement Is Remaking Capitalism”, then be joined by a panel of thought leaders in the sustainability and B Corp space for a discussion and audience Q&A.
